What I Kept & Returned

Herringbone Compression Jacket - $39.94 - 25% off = $32
In my order of the above three items, I bought two sizes of the jacket, and three sizes of the cardi coat you'll see in the returned section. I used my $55 in Old Navy rewards. I can't really figure out how to do the math on how they paid me back (I got some rewards back and some money back when I returned the extras, but I didn't get my full $55 back or my full out of pocket money back) so I spent $28.23 out of pocket on those three items.

Graphic Crew-Neck Sweatshirt - $24.94
The two items above will go down in history as the first items I ever bought full price from Old Navy. Neither were available on the website at the time. The sweatshirt I bought isn't pictured in the collage, because I've never seen that one online, but it's featured in this post. (I also bought the same sweatshirt for my mom, but since it's a gift, it's not counted toward my budget.)

Mockneck Lace Shoulder Tunic - $19.99 - 5% REDcard discount - paid with gift card = $0
Haven't received this yet. I just love it online, but calling it 'mockneck' kind of confuses me because on the model it doesn't look that way. We'll see when it arrives...

I feel like I went a little crazy this month for not really wanting anything for a while... And there are a few more things I want from Old Navy, but I'm waiting to get my rewards money back/possibly use some super cash I earned, so I'll probably be buying that stuff after this post goes live.

I was expecting this to be more cardi than coat. I should've looked at the material, but anyway, it was wooly and itchy and very much coat-like. I also didn't feel like it was totally my style when I put it on.

I loved these boots. Reviewers say they can stand/walk all day in them and be comfortable. My current cognac boots are not on that level. I was considering replacing my current boots with these. My normal size was too tight, but it looks like a size up is now available again, so I may just end up re-buying these (thank goodness for gift cards!). I went ahead and ordered the bigger size last night. I may not end up keeping them, but we'll see!

Total spent: $88.11
That's actually a significant chunk of money for me when you compare it to the past few months. Oops!

The orange striped sweater is adorable. I love it so much! I love the compression jacket, too! ON is my jam. Annnnnnnnnd now I'm stuck on their site because they're having a sale. DAMN IT, Mattie! Hahaha!

Love the heel height on those riding boots! I actually only have one pair of to-the-knee boots and they're super dressy, so I need to keep my eye on a pair or two now that they should all be going on sale soon (yay spring coming, haha). I hope the bigger size works for you! The tunic you ordered from Target looks so cute & so you!

I LOVE Born boots. I have two pairs of tall (black and brown) and one pair of brown booties and those reviewers tell the TRUTH. All three were comfortable straight from the box. I've worn them to teach in all day long and went home still comfortable. LOVE THEM.

New year, new budget. Yay! haha! I love that sweater! Those boots look fabulous, but boots are such a hard thing for me for fit so I get having to send things back and try other sizes or brands or whatever. I need some new work out clothes desperately! I like the tops you got!

I love love love those boots! I've had them saved & kind of hope they drop the price even more as it gets toward the end of winter possibly. I would totally get them to wear for next year. You'll have to update on how you like them when you receive the new pair!

Old Navy does great activewear. I haven't needed new activewear in a long time (I only wear it to go to the in-building workout room to use an elliptical or treadmill), but it was one of my go-to places for shopping for it. Hopefully the next size of the riding boots will work out!

This was my first Roxane Gay read and it won't be my last! Her writing is incredible. The short stories range between two minutes and thirty-five minutes (at least, based on my Kindle's analysis of my reading speed) and they're all diffe...

This was a beautiful story, and so well written. I loved how the different stories were woven together, and in a lot of cases, unexpectedly. I don't think I was in the right mindset for it when I was reading it, or I was just too distrac...

I absolutely loved the message of this book--to be kind to everyone, no matter how different we all are. I had tears of sadness and of joy in my eyes at different times in this book. It was just so cute.

I just love JP. I was worried when I saw reviews calling the ending unrealistic or over the top, but I enjoyed it. Picoult has been my favorite author for years, and her endings are always big. I love that she tackles tough topics. Make ...
